Toyota unveiled robot mascots and robot assistants for the 2020 Olympic Games

Toyota introduced talisman robots, helper robots, and humanoid robots as tall as humans. They will meet athletes and instruct spectators during the Olympic Games in Tokyo, which will be held in 2020. This writes New Atlas with reference to the company.

Among the devices presented are a blue-white robot Miraitowa and a white-pink Someity. The work of the talismans will be to greet athletes and guests at official events, recognize people using cameras mounted on their heads, and raise their hands to shake.

Approximately the same functions will be performed by a humanoid robot human growth T-HR3. His responsibilities will also include the transmission of video and sound from competitions and public events.

Another device, Support Robot, will remove various items left by athletes, such as throwing projectiles, so that they do not interfere with others.

Previously, Toyota introduced the APM (Accessible People Mover) all-electric bus for transporting athletes during the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
